Q. Solve the following equation for x x . Express your answer in the simplest form.\newline4(7x+5)=28x+21 4(7 x+5)=28 x+21 \newline
  1. Distribute terms: Distribute the 44 on the left side of the equation.\newlineWe need to apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation to simplify it.\newline4(7x)+4(5)=28x+214(7x) + 4(5) = 28x + 21\newline28x+20=28x+2128x + 20 = 28x + 21
  2. Subtract 28x28x: Subtract 28x28x from both sides to get the variables on one side and the constants on the other.\newlineSubtracting 28x28x from both sides will help us isolate the variable term.\newline(28x+20)28x=(28x+21)28x(28x + 20) - 28x = (28x + 21) - 28x\newline20=2120 = 21
  3. Analyze result: Analyze the result.\newlineWe have arrived at a statement that says 20=2120 = 21, which is not true. This indicates that there is no solution to the equation, as the variable xx has been eliminated and we are left with a false statement.
